Techstrong.ai, Monday, February 24th, 2025
In this Techstrong.ai video interview, Terren Peterson, vice president of data engineering for Capital One, dives into the data management challenges that organizations need to overcome as they look to build and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the wake of a survey that finds 87% of business leaders see their data ecosystem as ready to build and deploy AI at scale, while 70% of technical practitioners spend hours daily fixing data issues.
In this interview, host Mike Vizard speaks with Terren Peterson, VP of data engineering at Capital One, about a new report assessing how ready enterprises are for AI. Peterson highlights that a significant majority of business leaders-around 80%-recognize the strategic importance of AI and ML. However, the report also reveals that many technology practitioners face substantial challenges with data quality, spending too much time on data wrangling and pipeline fixes rather than on higher-value adatanalytics and customer insights.
